Red Leader, can you post some pics of the engine number to 'More Ducati 955...any of them yours'...

Hi Redleader, Is it a 955SP (955 SPA) or a Corsa? Im seeing a lot of magnesium and Carbon there! you are setting the bar kinda high though I have some tricks up my sleeve!

**Red Leader** · 24 Feb 08, 09:21 PM

Fairing coming this week!! At last it will be finished

Looking very very nice, (I'm gonna ride my 748 this summer and next winter I reckon it'll be off the road for a few months of TLC similar to what you've been up to) looking forward to seeing your fairing. What colour and graphics are you going for?

**Red Leader** · 25 Feb 08, 05:35 PM

It's all going black

**Red Leader** · 13 Mar 08, 06:15 PM

The cylinder heads don't look like 916/955SP items to me.

96mm pistons.. 'G' cams 138bhp at rear wheel. Got the engine from a guy from the states. I wasn't sure but he knew his stuff. The engine doesn't have it's usual zdm955 number but something rather different. I suspect it's an ex race engine from the usa. The pistons are very hi compression and the valves are bigger than standard. The crank is a work of art.. I'm very happy with what i've got.

It's only going to be used a couple of times a year.. Don't fancy rebuilding every year

Looks really nice, got to laugh at Mr R he has eyes like a 5hithouse Rat.

You wouldn't want to get caught out in the rain with those few grooves in that slick.
